Bolgatanga's 8pm events ban contradicts Mahama's 24-hour economy vision – Gabriel Agambila

Ghana's 24-hour economy policy is intended to create an enabling environment for businesses and public institutions to operate around the clock, with the policy framework envisaging three eight-hour shifts.

Mr Agambila said the restriction, if strictly enforced, could undermine economic activities within the municipality and create public dissatisfaction with the government, particularly at a time when the administration is encouraging businesses and economic activities to operate beyond conventional daytime hours.

He urged the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly to reconsider the restriction and engage stakeholders to find a more balanced approach that protects public order while allowing legitimate economic and social activities to thrive.
